Percutaneous High Frequency Alternating Current Stimulation in Healthy Volunteers

Neuromodulation Clinical Trial

Official title:
Percutaneous High Frequency Alternating Current Stimulation: Effects on Somatosensory and Motor Threshold in Healthy Volunteers

Clinical Trial Summary

High-frequency alternating currents of greater than 1 kHz applied on peripheral nerves has been used in animal studies to produce a motor nerve block. It has been evidenced that frequencies higher than 5 kHz are necessary to produce a complete peripheral nerve block in primates, whose nerve thickness is more similar to humans.

Clinical Trial Description

Our previous studies with transcutaneous HFAC, suggest high-frequency stimulation (10 and 20 kHz) have an inhibitory effect over muscle strength and somatosensory threshold. However, in these studies the intensity needed to reach block threshold is very high. The purpose of the present work is to reduce the amount of current intensity needed using a percutaneous approach by apply two acupuncture needles near the nerve as electrodes. ;
